Products made in China are to be exported to other countries around the world, and usually must meet local safety certification standards before they can be sold in the region.

Because each country has its own national conditions, different geographical environments, national cultures, living habits and national protection awareness, this has prompted most countries to formulate a set of product standards suitable for their own national conditions. , to protect national security and the environment.

In this way, as long as the products are exported to different countries, the standard requirements will be different. Therefore, a third-party testing agency has emerged to fairly, authoritatively and objectively evaluate whether the export certificate meets the standard requirements and conduct product testing and certification.
